This avoids the process of having to administratively terminate the partnership. It also modernizes an existing $20 surcharge that currently is charged for filing a non-typed record. This proposal would apply the surcharge to any form that is not generated by the Secretary of State's Electronic Filing System, applying the surcharge only to documents that will require manual data entry processes. It also sets the effective date at the projected launch of the new electronic filing system. Based on the 2017 data, 45 statements filed by partnerships were administratively dissolved, a reduction of revenue to the General Fund of $1350 annually. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep.

It also removes a reference to signature requirements for filing if "directors have not been selected", as directors are required to be named within the articles of incorporation. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep.

Smith made a motion to approve the minutes of Wednesday, January 10, 2018; Monday, January 15, 2018; and Tuesday, January 16, 2018. Motion carried by voice vote. DOCKET NO. 31-1101-1701: Commissioner Anderson, Idaho Public Utilities Commission, came to answer any follow up questions regarding Docket No. 31-1101-1701. Joe Leckie, Idaho Public Utilities Commission, testified Docket No. 31-1101-1701 may mirror international standards, but no international standards are adopted by this code. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep. Crane made a motion to approve Docket No. 31-1101-1701. Motion carried </li></ul>by voice vote. RS 25776: Tim Hurst, Chief Deputy, Secretary of State, proposed legislation intended to remove the requirement candidates for local political subdivision offices, and allow the filing of campaign finance reports electronically. Local governments are not able to accept electronic filings at this time. It is the intent of the Secretary of State to begin accepting on-line filings of campaign finance reports and make them available to local entities in 2019. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep.

Chairman Loertscher turned the gavel over to Vice Chairman Monks. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">RS 25767: </li><li style="flex:1">Chairman Loertscher presented RS 25767 to t the committee. This proposed </li></ul>legislation would require public officers and candidates for office to disclose financial interests of five thousand dollars ($5000) or more and disclose other potential conflicts of interest. Actual amounts would not be required, nor would it require releasing tax returns. This seems to be the least intrusive manner to achieve such disclosure. In answer to committee questions Chairman Loertscher said that Idaho is one of two states that does not require any disclosure. The perception of the public is that public officials have numerous conflicts of interest and should be disclosed. If this were to be enacted by initiative, it might be much more intrusive and might require more extensive reporting that could discourage good people from running for office. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep. Barbieri made a motion to return RS 25767 to the sponsor. </li></ul>SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Rep. Jordan made a substitute motion to introduce RS 25767. VOTE ON SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Substitute Motion failed by voice vote. VOTE ON ORIGINAL MOTION: Vice Chairman Monks called for the vote on the original motion to return RS 25767 to the sponsor. Motion carried by voice vote.

TIME: PLACE: MEMBERS: Room EW40 Chairman Loertscher, Vice Chairman Monks, Representatives Luker, Crane, Palmer, Barbieri, Holtzclaw, Harris, Armstrong, Giddings, Manwaring, Zito, Scott, Smith, Wolf(Jordan). ABSENT/ EXCUSED: None GUESTS: Russell Westerberg, Ardie Noyes, Idaho Racing Commission, Nick Veldhouse, IAHD. Rep. Loertscher called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. RS 25737: Tim Hurst, Deputy Secretary of State, said this proposed legislation clarifies election processes currently in Idaho Code, moves the various deadlines so they fall on a Friday instead of the weekend when offices are closed, and corrects the citations to federal law addressed in Title 34. Part of the legislation of the voter registration card in section 4 asks to remove references to gender on the registration card. Scanning the registration card satisfies the requirement of the card being physically unalterable. ORIGINAL MOTION: Rep. Crane made a motion to introduce RS 25737 with page 3, line 36, and sex, left in, dealing with them at a future point. SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Rep. Harris made a substitute motion to introduce RS 25737. Substitute motion carried by voice vote. Rep.(s) Crane and Scott requested to be recorded as voting NAY. RS 25784: Tim Hurst, Deputy Secretary of State, presented RS 25784. This proposed legislation clarifies how long certain election records are kept, and designates the statewide voter registration database, maintained by the Secretary of State and accessed by the counties as the official register of electors. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep. Monks made a motion to introduce RS 25784. Motion carried by voice vote. </li></ul>DOCKET NO. 11-0406-1701: Ardie Noyes, Idaho Racing Commission, Business Operations Manager, presented Docket No. 11-0406-1701. This rule outlines the time frame for drug violations. Two sections of the rules outline the time frame for procedures related to hearings regarding equine drug violations. The time frames in these sections don't match well. Rule 11.04.06.051.01 states a Steward's jurisdiction lasts for 30 days after a race meet is held. This means the Stewards must hold all hearings, and make all determinations which haven't already been settled, within 30 days after the last day of racing. The second, Rule 11.04.11.160 which there is no change to, provides a time line of a horseman's right to due process through the split sample procedures. After a race has been run, it can take up to more than 44 days for the final determination of the Racing Commission. If a Steward's jurisdiction expires, the Racing Commission will be forced to hire attorneys to act in the place of the Stewards, to bring the case forward once the split sample result comes in. The process at that point is to hire a hearing officer to decide the case. Such an action causes several negative impacts to the horseman in question, but also negatively impacts other horsemen involved in the race. <ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">MOTION: </li><li style="flex:1">Rep. Smith made a motion to approve Docket No. 11-0406-1701. Motion carried </li></ul>by voice vote.
